"Total Freedom" is Mike Campese's first release now remastered on CD! Mike Campese's Total Freedom CD features a number of his solo pieces put together to create a story and to express his versatility as a guitarist and writer. The album establishes many moods, with some pieces recorded with only one or two tracks. Campese handles all the instrumentation, while the music covers a significant dynamic range, from introspective ("Amberay", "Last Train Out", "Heaven") to high-tech guitarmanship ("Freedom", "Indian War"). With Total Freedom, Campese delivers another round of highly accomplished fretwork and stylistic variety. This CD will be liked by all music lovers, something for everyone!
